Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The purpose of this study is to exploratorily evaluate the effects of 4-week continuous intake of "Tenku Kuwa Aojiru" (Mulberry Green Juice) on biomarkers related to metabolic syndrome and diabetes (specifically postprandial blood glucose), as well as body weight and body fat percentage. Focusing on the effect of iminosugars, a component unique to mulberry leaves, to moderate sugar absorption, this pilot study verifies its usefulness in healthy individuals and those in the borderline range.
